And reassuringly, the White Star Line, which ran the ship, described her in promo material as being designed to be unsinkable.

Yeah.

I mean, that claim didn't age that well.

And so, yeah, there was a ton of wealthy people on it.

And some very famous wealthy people died.

And one particular wealthy guy had a ticket on it.

And then at the last second or near the last second, he decided not to go, which immediately then of course caused people to put on their conspiracy hats and say, hey, what's the deal here?

Who was this wealthy individual?

So famous old timey rich guy, J.P.

Morgan,

Maybe it has only $100 in it or something.

That's the guy, just a little mom and pop organization.

So another hypothesis about the sinking of the Titanic is that JPMorgan deliberately engineered its sinking in order to murder several of his rivals who opposed the creation of the Federal Reserve System in the United States.

No, it happens all the time.

There are all sorts of people who bought tickets to the Titanic and then didn't go.

But I mean, in any event like this one, it's got thousands of people.

There's going to be some coincidences, but we hate coincidences.

I mean, they happen, but we hate them.

And so, I mean, you can argue that there was nothing much strange or suspicious about Morgan canceling his trip, except here's the idea.

A bunch of wealthy men did die in the shipwreck, including John Jacob Astor IV.
